Buck Owens "Streets of Bakersfield (featuring Dwight Yoakam)" |
Buck Owens & Dwight Yoakam (Dwight) I came here looking for something I couldn't find anywhere else Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody Just want a chance to be myself (Buck) I've done a thousand miles of thumbin' I've worn holes in both my heels Trying to find me something better Here On the streets of Bakersfield Chorus: (Dwight & Buck) You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? --- Instrumental --- (Dwight) Spent sometime in San Francisco I Spent a night there in the can They threw this drunk man in my jail cell I Took fifteen dollars from that man (Buck) Left him my watch and my old house key Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal Then I thanked him as I was leaving, and I headed out for Bakersfield Chorus: (Dwight & Buck) You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? Hey You don't know me, but you don't like me You say you care less how I feel But how many of you that sit and judge me Have walked the streets of Bakersfield? (Dwight) How many of you that sit and judge me (Dwight & Buck) Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?.. Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
